For example, not all menopausal women have been inductrinated into this "new speak" and may not be aware it means them. They regards themselves as women as they have always done, during their menstruating years and before.

We post-menopausal woman don't simply "regard ourselves" as women, we know that since menarche and reaching legal majority, we've always been women. Also coz a lot of other reasons, such as all the human beings we've grown in our wombs and brought into the world through our vaginas or our abdomens (in the case of CS).

Most female human beings nowadays who live out our full life expectancy will spend as much or more of our lives without the capacity to ovulate and menstruate as with this ability. The average age of human menarche is 11, average age of menopause is 51. That's 40 years. But in much of the world today, the normal female lifespan is more than double this. In many countries today, it's 89!

This new terminology that's been made up by misogynistic, covetous young men no one else wants to have sex with isn't just "needlessly confusing" - it's incredibly insulting to real girls and women of all ages.
